Abstract
A home control system using galvanic skin responses and heart rate information and a method thereof. Whether a user is awake is judged using a galvanic skin response sensor, and the extent of stress of a user is determined using the user's heart rate, thereby extracting a user's emotional state and sleeping state. Furthermore, based on these, various systems in the home network of a user are controlled according to the user's emotional state and sleeping state. In addition, those control results are stored in a database so as to create the optimum control conditions.
Claims41
A home control system comprising:
- a user monitor which periodically outputs user information of at least one user, the user information including a sleeping stage of the user and a stress index of the user;
- a home server which receives and stores the user information in a database and generates a facility control command based on the user information stored in the database;
- and
- a home facility system which receives the facility control command and controls an environment inside a home of the user based on the facility control command.
A home control system comprising:
- a user monitor which periodically outputs user information of at least one user, the user information indicating whether a user is in a waking state and a stress index of the user;
- a home server which receives and stores the user information in a database and generates a facility control command based on the user information stored in the database;
- and
- a home facility system which receives the facility control command and provides broadcast information to the user based on the facility control command.
A home control method comprising:
- periodically providing user information of at least one user, the user information including a sleeping stage of the user and a stress index of the user;
- storing the user information in a database;
- and
- generating a facility control command based on the user information stored in the database;
- controlling an environment inside a home of the user based on the facility control command.
A home control method comprising:
- periodically providing user information of at least one user, the user information indicating whether a user is in a waking state and a stress index of the user;
- storing the user information in a database;
- and
- generating a facility control command based on user information stored in the database;
- providing broadcast information to the user based on the facility control command.
